A: Was that your brother who played the piano at the campus music festival yesterday? Isn’t he a member of the guitar club? B: Yes, that’s him. He play all these different instruments — and play them well. A: Wow, I had no idea he was such a man for all seasons. Note: This idiom means “a man who is successful and talented in many areas” or “a man who is ready to cope with any contingency and whose behavior is always appropriate to every occasion.” The phrase was the title of Robert Bolt’s famous book (play) about the story of Sir Thomas More. For example: Harold is a talented writer, director, and actor — a man for all seasons. |
